    Bookmark this Sherdog. Volk is going to decline big time moving forward

    As a 40 year old (who would probably be a tall 155er if I fought), I agree 100%. I was still in pretty good shape into my 30s, but when I hit 35 shit just got more difficult. The decline started slow and I actually started to bounce back nicely around 37, but now I have a bad back and it's...

    Bookmark this Sherdog. Volk is going to decline big time moving forward

    There's definitely some merit to that, but I'd been saying Volk was headed for a decline even before this fight, just because he's now 35 years old and an elite fighter under 185 lbs haha. I always laughed it off, but after that crazy stat on the matter was revealed and seeing Usman and...

    but but but I like both of you

    I've had a ton of these but the first memorable one for me was Shogun/Machida. Was a huge Machida fan and Shogun was my all time fav. I was still a Machida fan but of course needless to say I was rooting hard for Shogun in the rematch and his win was one of my happiest MMA fan moments haha. And...

    EA Cover curse remains undefeated imo

    These curses are of course just superstitions, but they aren't entirely about wins and losses. Jones didn't lose a fight, but after making the cover he popped for coke ahead of the DC win, was stripped of the title and suspended (the first of 3) after the hit-and-run incident, then after winning...

    Marlon Vera: "I 1,000% Respect Cruz. I Stand by My Comments But I Wasn't Talking Sh*t."

    Yeeees all of this! Would've saved me some time on my long ass comment if I saw this first haha

    Marlon Vera: "I 1,000% Respect Cruz. I Stand by My Comments But I Wasn't Talking Sh*t."

    TL;DR Chito's not trying to disrespect, and is just saying Cruz breaks a lot of fundamental rules that he and his coaches see as inadvisable. Cruz's age and injuries should definitely be considered factors, but another big reason Chito won this fight was because he took advantage of fundamental...

    This might be a job for Bas Rutten's O2 Trainer!

    After the post fight interviews from Paddy... are you still a hater?

    Wasn't necessarily a fan of the guy, never considered myself a hater though, but Paddy The Saddy was definitely more endearing. Good on him for an impressive win and really doing some good guy shit in the post fight. It's a message that really does need to get out and he used his platform...

    Moose just got dominated

    Moose is one of those weird fighters where if he went out there and torched Whittaker and/or Izzy I wouldn't be surprised one bit. And I also wouldn't be surprised if in his very next fight he went out and got dominated by someone he was like a -600 favorite over haha. Felt the same way about...

    Will we ever see stoppages like this in MMA?

    Thanks for the update, didn't know they removed it! Don't know when they did it, but I do know that it was still a rule when Nick did it in the Nate/Thomson fight. It's interesting that the wording there makes it seem like corners weren't able to stop the fights at all, because I always thought...

    Will we ever see stoppages like this in MMA?

    That's an interesting one because if I'm not mistaken, literally throwing in the towel is and was ruled a foul under the unified rules, and isn't supposed to be considered by the ref as a signal that the fight needs to be stopped. Would've been interesting to see what would've happened if the...

    How do you go on a 0-7-1run in the premier organization! Updated!!

    It's crazy that as soon as he slowed down/his game got figured out, he became a decision machine. Once you see a guy basically do nothing, lose the majority of fights, but finally find that opening for a good shot that puts his opponents away, you learn to just stop giving it to him, and Sam...

    has ever a fighter ever faked being unconfident?

    I for one would absolutely love to see that haha. A fighter so confident that they don't care about being perceived as weak. Or just a fighter with such a DGAF attitude; I feel like if Forrest was a better fighter it's something he might've pulled off. I remember him talking about basically...

    How do you go on a 0-7-1run in the premier organization! Updated!!

    I always find the narrative that Alvey is an exciting fighter interesting. He's definitely had some knockdown-dragout moments, but he's also spent a ton time waiting around for counters and throwing very little output in fights. Then he gets mad when he's losing and puts it all out there close...

    has ever a fighter ever faked being unconfident?

    Oh I totally agree, and Chael is a prime example of confidence suddenly leaving. We've all seen that perfectly-timed pic of him on his ass right after he whiffed that backfist, looking up at Silva in horror before the knee came haha. I think fake confidence is probably very common in the...

    has ever a fighter ever faked being unconfident?

    It's actually a pretty interesting question. I can think of examples where fighters went into the fight very respectful and humble, but showed more forward confidence in the fight, but not any where they looked flat-out unconfident and hit a 180 come fight time. I think part of that might just...

    Media Nate terrifies and made someone flinch at Paul-Woodley fight

    Maybe being black I have a better eye for this stuff, but it looks pretty clear even from that distance that the dude in the video is at least 3 shades darker than McKee haha.
